About this episode

We often focus on the number of words a child says, but oftentimes parents have the question: ”Is HOW my child is saying this developmentally appropriate?”

On this episode, I welcome Melissa Minney, Speech Language Pathologist and Founder of Raising Little Talkers to discuss:

  • The difference between speech and language
  • Normal progression of speech sounds in the toddler/preschool years
  • Do parents need to correct every word and how do they do it if they do?
  • When a parent should be concerned about certain speech sounds
